CX-Qn 4K4

Four-Channel Network Amplifier for the Q-SYS Ecosystem

CX-Q Series network amplifiers combine a legacy of robust power amplifiers, advancements in high-efficiency output devices and native network transport, control and monitoring capabilities of the Q-SYS Ecosystem. CX-Qn 4K4 features four channels, capable of delivering customized power output loading and a total maximum power of up to 4000 W. Low-Z, 70 V or 100 V direct drive are available on all channels.

Traditional Amplifier Solution

Traditional amplifiers lock the “per channel” power distribution, which limits an amplifier’s capabilities to use the amplifiers total power.

Loudspeakers on Channel 1 and 2 only require 240 W and 900 W. This results in a total of 860 W of unused, wasted power on those channels.

Loudspeakers on Channel 3 and 4 require 1200 W and 1500 W, but channel C and channel D are only capable of outputting 1000 W per channel. To solve this issue, a second amplifier needs to be deployed, which is both inefficient and costly!

QSC Amplifier Solution

FlexAmp™ allows for asymmetric output channel loading by drawing from large power reserves and distributing customized output power levels to each channel

FAST (Flexible Amplifier Summing Technology™) allows channels to be combined in bridge mode, parallel mode or bridge/parallel mode to deliver either high voltage loads (up to 200 Vrms) or higher current loads (up to 35 A)

These two technologies enable far more fluid power distribution and ultimately decrease system cost by reducing wasted power and channels, while removing the need to specify multiple amplifiers with different power ratings in a multi-zone installation.
